Shower thought. The United States of America is letting Russia spend itself to failure, like they did to the U.S.S.R during the cold war. The U.S. will not engage in an open war against Russia because there would simply be no need for it.

A simple example would be, advanced parts for Russian military equipment like tanks will be hard to find with them sanctioned by the West. If they import them from China, it will be "Made in China", and it will never be as good as their European and American counterparts, placing them in a disadvantage.

But there is simply no other manual for supporters to bring the light of democracy to countries with the wrong authoritarian regime.
In a way they already shoved democracy down our throats in day one of the revolution which is why Iran is a "Republic" instead of a full Theocracy/Monarchy which is the source of majority of our problems.

Anyway the aftermath has been pretty funny in the past couple of days. If you read the US media it gives you the feeling that there is a civil war going on in Iran. I even read an article last night on NewYorkTimes that was saying the cities have fallen ROFL.
The riots lasted 2 days (they ended on Wednesday, ie. 3 days before the NYT article), I even called my friend living in one of those "fallen cities" and he laughed his ass off about it.

They've gotten too desperate which is pretty funny. On social media they've been posting videos that are not even from Iran, in one of them if you paid attention they were speaking English which I think was from protests in Canada in January.

Speaking of propaganda here is the tip of the iceberg Stanford University in California found about the biggest propaganda campaign that the United States regime has been running:

It seems that the Kremlin has already come to terms with the loss of not only Kherson, but the entire right-bank part of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Approximately 20-25 thousand of the most combat-ready Russian troops are surrounded there and pressed against the Dnieper. Russia cannot replenish this territory with either troops, equipment, or ammunition. Four bridges of probable supply were damaged by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are under constant fire control. As soon as the Russians build pontoon crossings there or try to supply their encircled troops with the help of barges, they are destroyed. With regard to the liberation of this territory in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a completely different tactic than a swift counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region. Here, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are methodically hitting accumulations of manpower and equipment, ammunition depots, and command posts. Those Russians who survive will either surrender, or swim across the Dnieper, or die during the cleansing of the territory.

Mobilization in Russia was introduced precisely because the regular Russian army has already been largely destroyed in Ukraine. Russia has already lost more than 150,000 of its troops in the wounded and killed in Ukraine. The same applies to armored vehicles and artillery. They are already running out in Russia, because they have turned into scrap metal on the territory of Ukraine or have been captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are already firing at Russians. The mobilization of the proclaimed 300,000 Russians from the reserve will not change the situation at the front, since they are not prepared for the war in Ukraine and have virtually no combat experience.
LOL

Today began a referendum on the accession of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to Russia. And of course you are aware of this, so it's hard to say that you are wrong - you are just deliberately lying.

Yeah, things are happening too fast some days that I fall behind the news. I'm still in the shock of that severed head of that women carried around by that Azerbaijani soldier in the recent clash!
The riots in Iran follow the patterns from the manual "how to make a color revolution".
The fact that the so-called "referendums" on the possibility of joining Russia began in the occupied territories of Ukraine does not mean that Moscow has not come to terms with the future loss of the occupied parts of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. In Russia, they always said one thing, thought another, and did a third. The military leadership of Russia, given the critical situation of the occupiers in these areas, suggested that Putin leave Kherson in an organized manner in order to preserve personnel and military equipment. Putin refused to do so. How - such a commander cannot give the order to retreat. And it will also be difficult to call it another gesture of goodwill. Instead, the State Duma increased the criminal punishment for surrender to ten years in prison, since in the encircled regions of the Kherson region, entire Russian units began to contact the Armed Forces of Ukraine via mobile communications and negotiate the terms of surrender. Therefore, Putmn left the 20,000th Russian grouping only to die ingloriously on the territory of Ukraine.

I remember that you claimed that Russia is conducting a "special operation" on the territory of Ukraine, because it does not mobilize the population and only the regular army is fighting. Now the regular army on the territory of Ukraine is already ending, therefore, from September 21, the mobilization of reservists has been officially announced in Russia. Martial law is introduced in many regions of Russia. So maybe Russia is already waging a war against Ukraine, and not a "special operation"?

And the last. Do you consider as a referendum the order in which the so-called commissions, accompanied by armed military men, go around residential buildings, threaten to break down the doors if they do not open them and force them at gunpoint, without any observers and without secrecy of voting, to put a "tick" in the required box on the form who reproduced with the help of a photocopier without any signs of strict accountability and without tear-off coupons? And if there are no family members, then they are forced to vote for them? Moreover, the presence of a passport is not necessary, because "we already know you"? They even show on TV how Pushilin votes among some garages in the rain and without any ballot boxes? Here, everything that could be violated is defiantly violated. But Russia doesn't care about that either. They already have ready figures in excess of 90 percent that the population has voted in the right direction.

Russia is getting pushed back right now in Ukraine, there is no way that Russia can still conquer the whole of Ukraine. The chance to win the war outright is over, Western countries send too many weapons into Ukraine. At the moment it looks like a stalemate, Ukraine can't liberate all the teritority, and Russia can't conquer all. Eventually the two countries will have to start with peace negotiations. And Russia can't be the world dominant superpower if they are struggling in Ukraine so much. The only two superpowers in the near future will be USA and China. The dilemma Russia faces is that their equipment is much older than the one Ukraine is using. The average Ukrainian soldier is better equipped than its Russian counterpart and the new mobilisation is not going to help with that. On top of that are the sanctions from Western countries that hinders Russia to use state of the art technology. I don't think it's realistic to look at Russia as the next dominant super power.

 Grin Grin Grin

Ukraine over the past month has liberated vast territories from Nazi terrorists. Solats of the Russian army die in huge numbers or cowardly run away from their positions, throwing weapons, ammunition, some even lose their anal plugs Smiley)) The latter is not a joke, there are very cool photos from one base organized by Russian troops who left it in a hurry, google , understand what I mean!

Well, to visualize reality - below is an interactive map of military operations, with the ability to watch the situation at the front in dynamics. Updated data is updated every day. Look at the dynamics of the liberation, and it will become clear to you why a huge number of future corpses have begun to be mobilized in Russia now Smiley

BTW, important news coming in. Partial mobilization announced in Russia. I was expecting since their complete collapse near Kharkov. In the first phase some 300,000 reservists with past military experience will be called in.
Yeah, things are happening too fast some days that I fall behind the news. I'm still in the shock of that severed head of that women carried around by that Azerbaijani soldier in the recent clash!
In any case with this mobilization I wonder if Russians are fearing to lose Kherson like Kharkiv even though the counter offensives there don't seem to be as mad or as effective. The aggression is definitely increasing on both sides anyway.

Retaking Kherson won't be easy for the Ukrainians. The terrain is much less wooded and very flat. And given the asymmetrical resources in manpower, at some point Ukraine will run out of able-bodied men to wage the war. The longer the war lasts, the more difficult it will get for Ukraine. If this goes on for another 6 months, I don't expect the NATO allies to support Ukraine the way they are doing now. Winter is coming and the EU is facing popular unrest due to gas shortage. The burden of funding Ukraine will fall mostly on the United States, but there also the situation can change after the midterm elections of November 2022.


A month ago, you generally said that Ukraine is losing, that a terrorist country is easily and naturally seizing new territories, and so on. from Russian propaganda Smiley Today, in a matter of weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine defeated and destroyed the largest Russian grouping in the Kharkov region. For example, the "second army of the world" took Severodonetsk for 2 months, with huge losses. Someone threw fakes that Bakhmut had already been taken Smiley As a result, in 2 WEEKS, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated a huge territory, the army of terrorists suffered indescribable losses in both manpower and equipment. At the same time, Russia launched its Lend-Lease - and "transferred" to the Armed Forces of Ukraine more than a hundred pieces of heavy equipment, thousands of tons of ammunition Smiley
Kherson is a matter of time, but it will be freed from the "brown plague" of rashiZm.
You probably know that the bald Kremlin ass, in hysterics, announced mobilization for the "victorious army of Russia" Smiley The task is, according to the classic Russian habit, to try to "throw the enemy with meat" of their citizens. To contain the APU in some areas. Most likely in areas where clown "referendums" are held. But that won't help. The result will be the same - just an increase in the production of plastic bags for packing mobilized Russians to send home for the New Year Smiley

O.T.:
The riots in Iran follow the patterns from the manual "how to make a color revolution".
That's more like another day in a 50+ year old cold war. Not to mention that color revolutions don't work in post-revolution I.R.I. People have already put aside what they were angry about 5 days ago and are protesting against the rioters (and the real enemy) in the million people march held today all around Iran.
They don't work anywhere. Grin

Well there are two or three things that determine who will become world power. Technology, military strength and economy, if a country have the above mentioned then the country can emerged as world power. But remember if though one country becomes world power the other nations can come together and bring that country down.
Russia will be a superpower by 2030, according to 43% of respondents to a study conducted between November and December of 2020. But 56% thought the US would be, and 59% thought China would. We are just 8 years away from 2030, and with the current turn of events Russia isn't getting there anytime soon. In my estimation, Russia would have to rely more on exporting manufactured products, such as automobiles, aircraft, smartphones, drugs, chips, etc., and less on exporting gas, oil, and weaponry. This would be effective in building the economy. Being a superpower is much more than having nukes.

If Russia can provide everything for herself when economic crisis break out, that will be nice for her. But scholars of Sociology said, nobody can live alone. Therefore, Russia will still need the association of others. When we come raw material in the world Nigeria is one of the countries that has Abundant raw materials but the world order (globalization) make her stagnant in one place that she can not do any technological invention. And when other countries combine force (raw materials) together, Russia will not... By the way I don't see any world power as of now but I only see oppression from USA and other world powers. If they are not oppressing others then they should allow other nations to produce what they want.

There was no need to post the "history" from a Baku sponsored website here. You are basically approving that after 1600-1700 years the Russians (I was wrong in calling it Soviets) annexed part of Iran and created that fake country which they slowly lost control over too. Not to mention 2500 years ago those regions were also part of Persia (500 years Before Christ).

Everything about it is fake too. Starting from calling them "Turks" since they are not Turks, they are Azaris which are ancient Persians with one of the oldest languages that had some similarity to Turkish (which is changed today) and is spoken in more than just the North West of current Iran. Even the name is Persian. It's a combination of "آذر" meaning Fire, a scared symbol in ancient Persia and "آبادگان" meaning location in ancient Persian.

I am not denying these facts. I was just pointing out the fact that for two centuries North Azerbaijan is controlled by Russians and that period lasted until 1992 (when Turkey started replacing Russia as the dominant power). Until the end of 19th century, Russia was constantly expanding in the direction of Asia (adding new territories), while losing their provinces in Eastern and Central Europe. But Azeris are very close to Iranians and other neighboring peoples such as Daghestanis. And somewhere I read that more Azeris reside in Iran, when compared to the Republic of Azerbaijan.

I have never researched history of Ukraine so I'm gonna take your word for it but you obviously don't have any information about Azerbaijan history. It is indeed a fake country created by Soviets during wars between Iran and Soviet Union where they annexed part of Iran and called it the fake country of Azerbaijan.

If I want to put it in terms you understand, Azerbaijan to Iran is like the parts that Russia annexed between 2014 and 2022 (from Crimean to Donetsk, Donbas, Kharkiv, Kherson, ...). If they declare independence and name themselves a country (Donetsk republic?) that makes them a fake country.

As far as I know, this part was annexed by Russia during the time of Russian Empire. The USSR hardly expanded territorially, and rather they lost important territories such as Finland, Xinjiang and Mongolia. Northern part of current Azerbaijan was conquered by Russia during the Russo-Persian War of 1804–1813, while the remainder (Erivan, Talysh and Naxçıvan) was annexed during the Russo-Persian War of 1826–1828. So we can say that these territories are not with Iran for the last two centuries or so.

Not to mention that Russia is technically closer to the fake country they've created not so long ago called Azerbaijan not Armenia.
The thesis about fake states was recently invented by Putin in order to ultimately justify the military invasion and seizure of the territory of these states. So, a few months before Putin sent his troops to Ukraine, he declared that Ukraine was an artificially created state that Lenin created after the 1917 revolution.

The formation of Azerbaijan as a state took place a very long time ago, and in any case, it was before any actions by the Soviet Union.
The history of the formation of the statehood of Azerbaijan dates back to the III millennium BC. In the III century AD. Azerbaijan was occupied by the Iranian Sassanid Empire, and in the 7th century by the Arab Caliphate. The invaders resettled into the country a large population of Iranian and Arab origin. In the 15th - early 16th centuries, the outstanding statesman Shah Ismail Khatai (1501-1524) managed to unite all the northern and southern lands of Azerbaijan under his rule. A single centralized Azerbaijani state arose - the state of the Safavids with its capital in Tabriz. The Azerbaijani language, along with Persian, became the state language on the territory of a vast empire. As a result of successful reforms, domestic and foreign policy carried out by Shah Ismail, Shah Tahmasib, Shah Abbas and other Safavid sovereigns, the Safavid state turned into one of the most powerful empires in the Near and Middle East. However, after the death of the Azerbaijani commander Nadir Shah (1736-1747), the vast empire he ruled collapsed. And in the second half of the 18th century, Azerbaijan split into small states - khanates and sultanates.

At the end of the 18th century, the Azerbaijani Turkic Qajar dynasty (1796-1925) came to power in Iran. The Qajars began to pursue a policy aimed at subordinating to the central authority all the territories that were once under the rule of their ancestors Karakoyunlu, Akkoyunlu, Safavids and, finally, Nadir Shah, including the Azerbaijani khanates. Thus began the era of long-term wars between the Qajars and the Russian Empire, which was striving to seize the South Caucasus.

Thus, Azerbaijan turned into an arena of bloody wars between two great powers.

According to the Gulistan (1813) and Turkmenchay (1828) treaties, Azerbaijan was divided between two empires: Northern Azerbaijan was annexed to Russia, and Southern to Iran.

Thus, in the subsequent history of Azerbaijan, new concepts appeared: "Northern (or Russian) Azerbaijan" and "Southern (or Iranian) Azerbaijan".

In order to create a support and a Christian stronghold in the South Caucasus, Russia began to massively resettle the Armenian population from neighboring regions to the occupied Azerbaijani lands, in particular, the mountainous regions of Karabakh, the territories of the Erivan and Nakhichevan khanates. General Pashkevich even gave specific instructions on exactly where they should be relocated. In March 1828, the Iravan and Nakhichevan khanates of Azerbaijan were liquidated, and the so-called “Armenian region” was created on their territory for the resettled Armenians. Thus, the foundation of the future Armenian state on the lands of Azerbaijan was laid.

Here we can already see the current history of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh and, as always, the negative role of Russia in this. And Azerbaijan is definitely not a fake or artificially created state.

A landmark event was Russia's refusal of military assistance to Armenia after its military conflict with Azerbaijan and the shelling of the positions of Russian "peacekeepers" in this country.
There was never any need to send any forces there since the situation was and still is under control. Not to mention that Russia is technically closer to the fake country they've created not so long ago called Azerbaijan not Armenia.
The thesis about fake states was recently invented by Putin in order to ultimately justify the military invasion and seizure of the territory of these states. So, a few months before Putin sent his troops to Ukraine, he declared that Ukraine was an artificially created state that Lenin created after the 1917 revolution. However, Ukraine, under the name of Kievan Rus, was one of the most powerful states in Europe back in the ninth century. Its territory even covered Moscow, which in 1147 is mentioned in the Tale of Bygone Years as the village of Mokva, which belonged to one of the Kyiv princes, Yuri Dolgoruky. The other day, Moscow was just celebrating the creation of Russia, which dates back precisely to 1147. By the way, this is one of the reasons why Putin wanted to take over Ukraine. He wanted to appropriate the history of Kievan Rus as the history of today's Russia, where even the current name of Russia with the root "Rus" is not her own. Russia began to be called as such by the decrees of Tsar Peter the Great from 1721. Until that time, this state was called the Moscow kingdom or Muscovy.
Any statement about false states is simply a desire to redefine the boundaries of historically established states and justify wars of conquest in the 21st century.
